HEPiX X11 Scripts - Administrator's Guide

This is the administrator's guide of the %hx, it tries to describe what an administrator (site, system or group) can do to modify the X environment that will be offered to "his" users.


Introduction

With the version 3.x of the %h, an X11 package is provided to give a good default X environment that is easy to customise.

This document describes only what is specific to X11. It is complementary to the %h administrator's guide.

Installation

At CERN, the installation is straightforward when you use ASIS and SUE. In fact, SUE installs by default the %hx and you have nothing to do...

Otherwise, here is what should be done:

Customisation

You can easily customise the HEPiX X11 scripts by modifying some files and setting some variables, usually in the file %xprofile.

As an example, you can look at the site level customisation done at CERN that is documented elsewhere.
